Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0001] Not Applicable SEQUENCE LISTING OR PROGRAM [0002] Not Applicable TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0003] The invention relates generally to a system for improving the reading efficiency of a user as a reader and the writing effectiveness of a user as an author by using an organized structure. More particularly, by providing a structure for classifying information, the system disclosed in the invention helps an author to collect information, arrange ideas, develop details, select templates, view differently, and create a structured document and helps a reader to extract information from a reading material, organize information, modify information, specify presentation method, and present information. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] A regular book passes its information from its author to its readers. There are several disadvantages. First, a regular book cannot adopt itself to serve the different needs of many readers. Before an author starts writing a book, usually the author has to figure out his or her target audience. If the target audience is too small, then many people could not be interested in the book, and therefore the selling volume for the book will become a problem. If the target audience is too large, then the author could have difficulty to present information effectively, and therefore the communication effectiveness will become a problem. Different readers usually have different requirements on how to organize information and how to present information. Sometimes these requirements can contradict each other. To meet the needs of different readers, though an author could show information in many different ways in a same book, the book will then become very tedious, and therefore a reader will have difficulty to access particular information. Due to these limitations, an author usually has to compromise the demands from the readers under different categories. The author can target at several major categories and illustrate information in several ways with each suitable to one of the selected categories. In this way, though the book may look dull, the author could be able to handle the requirements from the reader of several targeted categories. However, the author is still unable to treat each reader individually. It is reader's responsibility to skip unwanted information, locate related information, and digest information. How effective a reader can read a book solely depends on the description in the book as well as the reading skill and the comprehension capability of the reader. [0005] Second, a regular book cannot adopt itself to meet the different requirements of a same user during different stages of reading the book. A reader may require a book to organize and present information differently when the reader reads the book for the first time from when the reader reads the book for the second time, from when the reader reads the books for the third time, and from when the reader reviews the book. Though an author could make different presentations for same information in a same book, the book can then become very unnecessary long, and therefore a reader may have difficulty to locate interesting information. Again, it is the reader's task to locate related information, to look at an issue from different view of point, and to organize the information. [0006] Third, the information flow on a regular book is in one direction. A regular book passes information from its author to its reader, but not from its reader to its author. When a reader has a problem in reading a regular book, the book does not provide a mechanism for the reader to ask the author a question and for the author to present information differently [0007] For the above reasons, it is desirable to create a system for helping a reader to access information efficiently and helping an author to present information effectively. OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION [0008] The primary objective of the invention is to provide a system for a reader to access information from a reading material efficiently by letting the reader specify what the reader may be interested in, search for particular information, and display searched results in a proper format. [0009] Another objective of the invention is to provide a system to present same information differently for different readers and for a same reader at different reading stages. [0010] Another objective of the invention is to provide a user a virtual secretary to organize information and present information according to the user's requirements. [0011] Another objective of the invention is to provide a system for a reader to ask question and for an author to help the reader by giving different explanations, offering other examples, and presenting differently. [0012] Another objective of the invention is to provide a system for a reader to access information by applying grammar analysis on a document, displaying subjects, verbs, and objects as well other sentence structures in different fonts, animating sentence structures, flushing important words, linking image to major issues, and creating sounds for related texts. [0013] Another objective of the invention is to provide a system for a user to train, practice, and master speed reading skills and other good reading habits. [0014] Another objective of the invention is to provide a system for an author to stimulate ideas, search ideas, view ideas, edit ideas, organize ideas, give examples, examine configuration, and create a structured document. [0015] Another objective of the invention is to provide a system for an author to use a different method on each group of target audience and on a same group of target audience at a different stage by letting the author to view ideas from different aspects, describe an issue in many different ways, create different examples, bind information dynamically, and present information flexibly. [0016] Another objective of the invention is to provide a system for a user to break down a complex writing or reading task into a few simpler and smaller subtasks that the user can complete each subtask relatively easier by following the procedures and the examples associated with corresponding templates. SUMMERY OF THE INVENTION [0017] The system comprises of a writing aid subsystem for helping a user as an author to write effectively and a reading aid subsystem for helping a user as a reader to read efficiently. [0018] The writing aid subsystem helps a user to separate a writing process into many small tasks with each small task associated with proper interface, guidance, help, example, and template. The subsystem also aids the user to collect, organize, display, and retrieve information, to stimulate, generate, sort, examine, and edit ideas from different aspects, to develop details for the ideas, to specify displaying formats, to separate target readers into various categories, and to create information delivery methods for each category,. Further, the subsystem lets the user to present information in many different ways with each for a different category of target readers and for a same category of target readers at a different stage and create a structured document that contains the organized information and the default delivery methods for several particular categories and for several particular stages.
